Wayne County Victorius!

The first bale of cotton received - the Silver Goblet Awarded

We were much pleased to notice the first bale of new cotton being drayed from the 
depot this evening to the store of Messrs. William H. Oliver & Co. This is the 
first bale of North Carolina cotton received in any town in the state this 
season. It was raised by Major George W. Collier of Wayne county.

Mr. Collier has several times had the first bale in market and we are pleased to 
see the Silver Goblet awarded to one who, by his energy and perseverance, is so 
worthy to receive it and as soon as we learn of its being disposed of we will 
quote prices, &c.
